    Affair Recovery Series: What Defines Infidelity in your Relationship...

    New Series: Affair Recovery Series: A journey to Healing Welcome to the Affair Recovery Series:  In this series it is my hope to give hope, clarity and direction to those couples that are struggling with the aftermath of an affair.  In this series we will explore what constitutes infidelity, the gender differences, why and where couples get stuck when trying to recover, the process of rebuilding trust and forgiveness as well as knowing when to end the relationship or rewrite your love story.  Despite, infidelity becoming commonplace within relationships it still disrupts individuals at their core and what they believe and understand about love and relationships.  Join the Chaise Lounge as we explore the range of emotions experienced, questions asked and the steps couples take to begin to recover from the betrayal of infidelity. Most Common Types of Affairs– Sexual(physical) – Lovers, Exs, One night stands, any sexual contact with a person that is not your partner.  Emotional Affairs – Emotionally(romantically) attached to someone other than partner – Work husband/wife, friends (where there’s an attraction), rekindle old love interest.  Non-sexual but may become sexual(physical). Cyber – Creating and maintaining a relationship with someone online outside the relationship May never meet the person but has desires Perceived Affairs – Engaging in behaviors that are consistent with one that cheats typically there is some unhealed relationship trauma or mental health concerns. There real things that do not involve others that qualify as infidelity (Finances and disloyalty bad mouthing partner)  •Do men and women see infidelity difference? Historically Yes…Although things appear to be changing I would argue that men and women understand and experience cheating differently. Women are raised to believe that this is a normal part of the love relationship.  It is expected and often times accepted that men will be unfaithful. Men on the other hand are not raised to believe women will be unfaithful and this is one of the greatest blows to a Man’s ego to discover infidelity I would argue that it is these differences that shape how we respond and recover from infidelity. The key is acknowledging that the affair is not the cause of the problems in the relationship but merely a symptom of an already sick relationship. It is important for both parties to acknowledge the role they play in the breakdown of the relationship.  This however does not excuse the behavior of the unfaithful partner. In my guide to affair proofing your marriage I identify 10 areas to address.   In the podcast episode Marital Preparedness.  I encourage couples to realistically discuss the possibility of threats like affairs to the relationship.   Email your topic suggestion or Question to: Stormcommunications2019@gmail.com Subscribe to newsletter via my website at newsletter  Leave a review on Apple podcast or my website https://stormcommunicationsnconsulting.com/chaise-lounge-podcast/ or Facebook review   Music Credits Afternoon Nap by Ghostrifter Official | https://soundcloud.com/ghostrifter-official Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US Support the show
